Whoosh whoosh——

A barrage of arrows flew toward the gap on the third floor. Zhao Wu swung his knife like a windmill to cover Zhao Cheng's retreat, while Xu An and Li Guanyu immediately shrank to the corner for cover.

Xu An cursed loudly, "You old bastard, you actually fired an arrow!"

Chen Yuxian said, "Young Marquis, you are straightforward and outspoken. I am certain you are not the spy. Why do you still protect them? Why don't you find a way to subdue them and bring them down!"

Zhao Cheng said, "Did you understand? He called you stupid and brainless."

"I need you to translate!" Xu An glared at Zhao Cheng and shouted out the window, "Chen Yuxian! You bastard, you're in cahoots with Wang Yufeng, trying to kill me to cover it up! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"I truly want to save you!"

Chen Yuxian looked heartbroken, shook her head slightly, and waved her hand, saying, "Light the fire!"

The archer drew his bow again and nocked it, and the soldiers beside him lit the fire.

"Wait!" Zhao Cheng suddenly walked to the window and shouted, "I know who the spy is, I'll hand him over!"

Chen Yuxian squinted at Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng pulled Li Guanyu forward and said, "Everyone knows my father is the Right Chancellor, so I'm definitely not a spy. Lord Chen said Xu An is brainless, so Xu An certainly couldn't be a spy either. That leaves only Li Guanyu!"

The matter came so suddenly that Li Guanyu was stunned: "Young Prime Minister, isn't this unnecessary..."

Zhao Cheng nudged Li Guanyu, using him as a human shield, and said, "Stop pretending to be innocent! You were just about to help Wang Yufeng kill me!"

Xu An said from the side, "Isn't that a bit unfair?"

Zhao Cheng said, "Then how about you take over?"

"Then let's go with him. I'm not smart enough; no one would believe me if I said I was a spy."

"Young general, save me!!" Li Guanyu shouted.

"Li Guanyu, are you stupid? Admit it already!" Zhao Cheng nudged Li Guanyu again and said, "Don't you understand how to stall for time?!"

Li Guanyu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood what was going on and asked suspiciously, "You have a backup plan?"

Zhao Cheng said, "If I hadn't known there was something wrong with this meal, we would all be dead by now."

Xu An asked, "How can we cooperate with you?"

Zhao Cheng said, "Just stall for time. The garrison will be here soon. I just didn't expect Chen Yuxian to be so insidious, actually planning to set fire to the building with rockets."

"Understood!" Xu An immediately ran towards Li Guanyu, punching him twice in the stomach and shouting, "So it was you, you dog spy!"

"Ah!" Li Guanyu wailed, "I didn't want to either! It's all for the country! This is my mission!!"

Chen Yuxian's lips twitched; she wanted to kill someone.

Xu An said, "Look, he admitted it!"

Zheng Hongxiu called out from afar, "Lord Chen, the spy has confessed, stop firing arrows!"

As she spoke, Zheng Hongxiu stirred up a commotion among the surrounding guests, prompting them to join in the shouting.

"It's just arresting one person, there's no need to burn down the building!"

"Don't burn down the building! If Heaven on Earth is gone, where will we go to play?"

Chen Yuxian pointed at Li Guanyu and shouted, "He's not a spy!"

The surroundings immediately fell silent.

What does that mean?

They've already admitted it, so why are you saying they're not?

Chen Yuxian continued, "I've investigated Li Guanyu thoroughly; he isn't him!"

Hahahaha!!

Zhao Cheng's laughter rang out, "Xu An isn't him, Li Guanyu isn't him either, Lord Chen, if you want to kill me, just say so! Stop with the fancy talk!"

Chen Yuxian said, "Get down here, or if I launch this rocket, Xu An and Li Guanyu will be killed because of you!"

"Okay, okay... I'll get down, I'll get down. Wait a moment, I twisted my ankle, so I might be walking a little slowly."

Just then, a series of noisy footsteps approached.

Chen Yuxian looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hu Xiayong running over with a group of people. Hu Xiayong shook his head at Chen Yuxian.

Chen Yuxian understood, knowing that the night raid on the Right Prime Minister's residence had failed, but her gaze drifted to Dong Hua, who had been captured by Hu Xiayong.

"This is?"

"This is Dong Hua!" Wang Yufeng asked suspiciously, "I asked for Cai'e, have you arrested the wrong person?"

Keep your voice down, you son of a bitch!

Are they afraid others won't know our purpose?

Chen Yuxian wanted to curse Wang Yufeng, lamenting how tiring it was to have such a useless teammate, and immediately said, "This maid from the Right Prime Minister's residence is also a spy from Southern Zhou. She's the one who exposed Zhao Cheng!"

Zhao Cheng, who was about to go downstairs, was suddenly stunned and looked at Zhao Wu in bewilderment.

"Wasn't Donghua at the manor? How did she get arrested?"

Before Zhao Cheng could even think, he saw his third brother leading a group of soldiers chasing after them.

Zhao Yan shouted, "Release that girl!"

Before they could stop, Zhao Yan saw Zhao Cheng on the third floor and quickly said, "Big brother, why are you tearing down someone's wall?"

Zhao Cheng roared, "Stop your nonsense! These people have captured Dong Hua and are going to kill your older brother. Help me deal with them!!!"

Seeing the menacing Zhao Yan and his soldiers, Chen Yuxian no longer hesitated and ordered again, "Light the fire!"

In an instant, streaks of fire lit up in front of the Red Sleeve Pavilion.

"Let go..." Chen Yuxian only managed to utter one word before she suddenly felt a chill on the back of her head and could no longer make a sound.

Everyone looked at him and saw that all the soldiers behind him had fallen, and a thin, round sword, as thin as a needle, had pierced through the back of his neck and come out of his mouth.

A hand wearing a red glove drew the sword and then shook it.

A sword through the throat!

Chen Yuxian fell down, revealing the figure of this person.

Dressed in a red training uniform, with long black hair, she slightly raised her head, her eyes filled with endless indifference.
